Scholarships

"The toughest part about being in college is paying for it because I actually don't get the HOPE Scholarship. Gwinnett Tech offered me an amazing scholarship. I got the Hudgens Award. Without that, I actually don't think I would have gone to college. College has changed my life by allowing me to go further in life."

Scholarships are awarded to students who meet the specific requirements of each scholarship found. Scholarships do not need to be repaid and eligibility may or may not be dependent on financial need. The scholarship awards may be used for any educational expenses you incur for your program at Gwinnett Tech, including tuition, books, or program supplies.If a student receives funds through the Workforce Opportunity Investment Act (WOIA) and is awarded a scholarship, additional funding may reduce the amount of WOIA funds available to the student.
